Meet the team #8

Kereru aka Ru

Ru is the newest member of the team, she's been with us for a couple of months now and is starting to settle into her new life pretty well.

Ru is a Standardbred mare and is rising 4 - she never paced as she just didn't have the motivation for it.

I have backed Ru once and over the coming weeks I will get on her more and ready for her life with lessons and treks!

Ru has a very kind eye and loves attention from anyone who will give it to her.

We can't wait to see what she has to offer.

Stay tuned for the last meet the team!
